Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 reviews and benchmarks

789€ for a non-custom non-ti card? So 489€ for the GTX 1070? Yeah, I'm out if custom models don't go for a lower price (max. 429€ GTX 1070, if the performance is right).
 
Anybody test with ashes of the singularity?

If you want to buy it in the first weeks, yes.
 
Performance seems about as expected and that's good, I want one. However the Founders Edition aka. reference cooler is completely worthless piece of crap and the prices are insane outside of US. Some competition from AMD sure would be great right now about now because if Nvidia is left on its own, they'll steer more and more towards this anti-customer path.

Anandtech's take.

As the first high-end card of this generation to launch, NVIDIA gets to set the pace for the market. At the risk of being redundant the GTX 1080 is now the fastest single-GPU card on the market, and even at 4K it wins at every single gaming benchmark, typically by a good margin. In practice we’re looking at a 31% performance lead over GTX 980 Ti – the card the GTX 1080 essentially replaces – with a similar 32% lead over AMD’s Radeon R9 Fury X. Meanwhile against the slightly older GTX 980, that gap is 70%.

On a generational basis this ends up being very close to the 74% jump in 4K performance going from the GTX 680 to GTX 980. And although the pricing comparison is not especially flattering for NVIDIA here, it should be evident that NVIDIA isn’t just looking to sell GTX 1080 as an upgrade for high-end Kepler cards, but as an upgrade for GTX 980 as well, just 20 months after it launched.
GTX680 to GTX980 +74% (Launch price - $549)
GTX980 to GTX1080 +70% (Launch price - $699)
 
So about 20-25% faster than my 980ti, I can live with that for another year.. I say bring on the 1080ti!

I really hope nvidia doesn't skimp out on the laptop version of this card. I might actually upgrade my 980M for that... let's hope they actually make a high end laptop version of this card and not just a rebranded 980M.
 
You complain about UK price? Polish price after conversion is 645 quid. Now that's fair! (compare average salary in UK and Poland ;) )
 
Meh? The performance is much better than expected! It has 36% average gains on the 980Ti.

Yea, but these are going from like 60fps to 80fps. It's sort of a meaningless distinction for me. Or 100 to 120fps. So yea...MEH. Now for the 970 or lower customer, it's a great performance improvement. Those people will be going from 25-35fps to 90fps or some such. THAT is a meaningful difference.
 
I think i'll wait for the 1080ti..
30% over the 980ti seems to be a good jump from a 970 but i want the best bang for my buck.
Except for The Division,my 970 is doing great so i don't see any immediate necessity to upgrade my gpu right now.
 
Double the performance of 970 at double (tripple at launch?) the price...
Meh :\

Most games won't run 2x faster, on average it seems more like 1.75. Compared to that the pricing is completely out of whack especially in Europe, even without the early-bird-tax it's imo too much. I was never going to buy a 1080 but if the 1070 follows in its footsteps I'll wait for 1060 or AMD or just skip this whole round.
 
I'm liking the way this is looking, baby!

I have parts on the way for a new rig as my first gen i7 920 would have bottlenecked the hell out of this card.
 
guys games will need to be written to take advantage of the new SMP. its not just going to speed up existing VR titles. its also highly depending on how much geometry is bottlenecking the performance.
 
25-30% improvement over 980ti with just the reference GPU seems pretty damn good, the gains should be even more once the factory OCd 1080s are released.
 
A beast custom card might be up there to run The Witcher 3 in 4k at 60 fps. High settings and no hairworks.

Gimme dat 1080 Ti.
 
I'm gonna wait and see what the non reference cards bring over the founders so I can decide if I want sell my 980's and get a 1080GTX and not deal with SLI then upgrade to 1080GTX Ti
 
I hate this price. It gives no incentive to discount the old cards. Even 18 months after release, you still have to pay roughly 300EUR for a 970, 400 for a 980 and 600 for a year old 980TI. This is insane.
 
This thing blows up the Titan X/980ti at 1080p, at 4k it seems it's like 8-10fps faster on most games.

I will keep my overclocked 980ti for now, 1080ti it is.
 
Man just need to know when the partner cards will be released. Take my money Nvidia this is the huge leap from the 970 for 1440p I was looking for

I don't understand, wouldn't the $600 tag for the 1080 naturally drive down the price of the 980 being that it's more powerful?

Yep, they're just adding new tiers on top of the old ones when in the past you'd get more performance for the same price. Works for them going by their financial results but that doesn't help me as customer.

It might be meaningless to you, but it's certainly not meaningless to those playing at 4K. Those frames can make the difference between playable and unplayable.

Of course, this card is total overkill for 1080P, but that's a given.
